Nestled among the pines and aspens on two lots, this charming mountain cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic character, modern upgrades, and true mountain convenience. Warm natural light fills the inviting living spaces, complemented by a cozy fireplace and a comfortable layout ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The main floor features a primary bedroom and a full bathroom, providing easy accessibility for everyday living or weekend stays. Upstairs, a loft (9x11) adds additional sleeping or relaxation space and includes an access door that opens to a private deck area, which then leads down to the larger covered deck-perfect for enjoying the fresh mountain air, morning coffee, or evening gatherings. The home has been thoughtfully updated with new windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, upgraded flooring, improved water lines, a new pressure tank, newer water heater, a durable metal roof, and a refreshed fireplace-offering efficiency, reliability, and peace of mind. The property includes a private well and a shared septic and leach field, and best of all-no HOA. With private open space along the southern boundary, the property enjoys exceptional serenity and quiet. Located just a short distance from the Village, you'll enjoy convenient access to a hardware and convenience store, post office, and library. Outdoor recreation is right at your doorstep with close proximity to Shagwa Lake, plus optional fishing access to all eight Red Feather Lakes through membership with the Storage & Irrigation Company (rfsi.org). With its serene setting, practical updates, main-floor living, loft retreat, and access to both nature and nearby amenities, this cabin is an ideal getaway for weekend escapes or full-time mountain living in the heart of Red Feather Lakes.
